Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

"Teacher Dirk, please continue your lesson. The distinguished guests will follow me."

Meilian pulled Yiyin and the others aside and said to them:

"Everyone, please do not disrupt the normal order of Storybrooke, and don't give the students hope. Hope can drive people crazy. What if they go out into the outside world and die? They are different from you. They can only survive in despair."

Melian was right. If these students hadn't seen the outside world, they wouldn't have had any strange ideas.

However, once their interest is piqued and they become addicted to it, it will not be easy to break their will.

After saying this, Meilian didn't give Yiyin and the others any chance, but walked straight into the auditorium.

She snatched the baton from Mentor Dirk, and her expression suddenly became gentle.

"Students, I know you're curious about the outside world, but it's quite dangerous. Not only are there bandits, but there's also endless oppression and discrimination. Many people haven't even lived their entire lives, let alone found true happiness. Ah—my dear children, please stop here. This is our eternal paradise."

After saying this, the children at the base all had tears in their eyes.

Melian continued, "Today, I will teach you about repentance. Life is fleeting, leaving no time to cleanse our sins. Therefore, repentance is absolutely necessary. Without this hurdle, we cannot grow. So, everyone, repent as much as you can!"

Encouraged by Meilian, a girl with freckles on her face came up and said guiltily:

"I want to repent! I committed the unforgivable sin of jealousy. Just because my old classmate Huo Du was praised by the teacher, I felt resentment towards him. I really deserve to die."

After saying that, he slapped himself in the face, then walked off the stage and asked his classmates to slap him one by one until he was beaten into a pig's head. Only then did he happily return to his seat.

The next person to come on stage was a plump girl who said in a passionate voice:

"I have a confession to make! I have committed the unforgivable sin of gluttony. Yesterday I vowed to share a delicious dessert, but it was so delicious. I accidentally ate it all. I... I am an unimaginable beast."

After saying that, she followed the same method, first slapping herself, and then letting other students take turns slapping them.

Then, there was the young man with a gloomy face that Yiyin saw. Yiyin then noticed that one of his sleeves was empty, and it looked like his arm was broken.

"I want to repent. I, Huo Du, have committed the sin of laziness because I have done nothing. Likewise, I will not let you hit me."

After saying that, Huo Du slipped out.

When passing by Yi Yin, Huo Du bumped into him intentionally or unintentionally.

Meilian seemed accustomed to this and did not say anything more, but asked the students to continue confessing.

……

After the confession, all the students' faces were swollen, but they looked very happy.

Merian began a long speech, and thunderous applause broke out in the auditorium.

Xuanwu noticed that Mentor Dirk seemed slightly disgusted by this.

"This……"

Long Kui looked a little embarrassed. He knew he shouldn't question Melian. Everything Melian said was right. Everything Melian said was good. Only by following Melian's guidance could one embark on the right path - this was something every student in Storybrooke knew.

However, since seeing the scenery outside, Long Kui found that she could no longer adapt to this place.

“It’s simply brainwashing.”

Yi Yin muttered softly, not only depriving the students of their individuality, but also taking away their ability to think, turning them into puppets that only obeyed her - Melian really had a good method.

However, Yi Yin was more concerned about Huo Du's situation. Xing Qiri asked him to give Huo Du the box, and it seemed that Huo Du must know something.

Yi Yin came forward and said to Dirk, "Teacher Dirk, is the student named Huo Du who just ran away okay?"

Dirk replied, "That's just the way the kid is. Don't worry. He should be eating in the restaurant now."

Yiyin gave everyone a look, and everyone understood and walked towards the restaurant.

.

restaurant.

Lunch time is approaching and the restaurant is very busy.

"Long Kui, do you know Huo Du? What kind of person is he?" On the way, Yi Yin tried to ask Long Kui about Huo Du.

Long Kui shook her head.

"Huo Du is different from us. He came later and has very little contact with us. He just likes to do some incomprehensible things occasionally. For example, he ate my dinner that day...

As he was talking, Long Kui suddenly stopped because he saw Huo Du at the restaurant door.

"Humph."

Seeing everyone coming, Huo Du just let out a cool "humph".

"Are you Huo Du?"

Yi Yin didn't know how to start. "We are from the Four Gods Base. This is the box Xing Qiri asked me to give you..."

"Four Gods Base? So, you're the Monster Master candidates?"

As Huo Du spoke, he passed over Yiyin, Zhuque and Xuanwu.

The three of them nodded, and Huo Du smiled.

"If that's the case, then it's easy to say."

Huo Du took out a monster card and said, "Let's fight."

"Student Huo Du, why do we have to fight?" Yake didn't want to see everyone fighting, so he wanted to stop the fight.

"Long Kui, stop pretending. Your poor acting skills can't fool my eyes. Don't you want to know the truth about Storybrooke? I can tell you, but only if you can defeat me and let me see your strength."

"Don't worry, we still have some time before dinner, and there are no two-way mirrors near the restaurant. In other words, this is a blind spot for surveillance."

Since Huo Du said so, Yi Yin no longer refused.

"Okay! It's a deal! I, Yiyin, will be your opponent. Go, Green-haired Turtle!"

The green-haired turtle grunted twice and slowly jumped to the ground.

Huo Du also released his monster from the monster card - a dodo.

The Dodo is a D-rank material monster. Despite its name, it can't actually fly. Its special attack, "Hundred Thousand Headbutts," concentrates all of its strength on its head, a force so powerful it can even reverse the flow of rivers.

Ever since losing to Xing Qiri's robin last time, Yiyin has been reflecting on himself.

I can't understand the green-haired turtle's intentions. Although losing is normal, it's not fun to keep losing.

Yiyin thought of how Bubulu and Sibuxiang got along, so she decided to use food to carefully understand the green-haired turtle's thoughts.

After repeated investigations, Yiyin learned that one of the green-haired turtle's favorite foods was chocolate, so he "bribed" it with chocolate.

Yiyin secretly stretched out five fingers, meaning that he could give the green-haired turtle five pieces of chocolate after the task was accomplished.

"Hoo-ha-ha!"

The green-haired turtle roared and kicked the ground with all four legs, full of energy.

"One move decides the outcome! Dodo, use 100,000 headbutts!"

Following Huo Du's command, the dodo rushed towards the green-haired turtle, as if it could make a hole in it.

"Green Turtle! Show him the power of our bond! Spinning Strike!"

The green-haired turtle retracted into its shell and then began to spin at high speed.

It is the magical power of "spin"!

The green-haired turtle gained strength from the rotation and began to slowly heat up, but the dodo did not give the green-haired turtle time to prepare and came straight at it.

"Come on!"

Yiyin shouted loudly, feeling his palms full of sweat.

He believed in himself, and he also believed in the green-haired turtle, and he believed even more in the impeccable connection between them.

"bang"

With a crisp crash, Suzaku, Xuanwu, Longkui and Yak all subconsciously closed their eyes.

But Yiyin kept his eyes fixed on the game, because he knew that the winner was about to be decided.

After the collision, one of the monsters fell straight down...
